You're close. But all handguns should be banned. Too easily concealed. If one can't defend the home with say, ten shotguns and rifles ......... Only long guns with limited internal magazines should be legal. Assault rifles are simply too lethal.
%% Hope this never happens to you FC; but what are you going to do if its kill or be killed?? Pretend that a killer will not kill you+ what if the killer asks ''did you call me be a racist savage??'' But he kills regardless of answer; simply because he is a killer + has a pattern of killing!!!!!
%% Good wise points + sarcasm Max; but not all Dems are anti 2nd ammendment/NRA/NRA-ILA. At least those that get re-elected.LOL-LOL,.Making progress; Smith & Wesson improved the six shooter into a 7 shooter.
Great. Let me know when you manage to get the bad guys to give up all their hand guns. I'll happily consider it then. Until then, piss off.
I think you would like Canada's sensible gun laws. They are uniform throughout the provinces, unlike U.S. laws that vary from state to state. Basically Canada's laws allow reasonably easy access to guns used for sporting purposes but restrict access to guns easily concealed or useful for killing numbers of people in a short time. You can find Canada's gun laws on Wiki.
This argument belies a certain naivety and lack of logical thinking. One has to look at gun regulation in terms of probabilities, rather than anecdotes, slogans, or improbable circumstances. .
Well this is one reason we will still have a strong debate because the federal government somehow backed off this issue (makes no sense since almost every other thing that crosses state lines is regulated under the ICC or various other laws) and let the States create a hodgepodge of laws where a protection that seems to work in one state is circumvented by simply going next door.
Sorry, I don't leave my family's safety up to probabilities. You're the one who is incredibly naive. You would be disarming people living in areas where they absolutely need the protection of a firearm. Or did you intend to give exemptions?
There is a strong probability that criminals and thugs will prey on disarmed citizens. That's all you need to know.
